The National Transportation Safety Board has now posted the entire docket (available here) of its more-than-two-year investigation into the cause of one of the worsts plane crashes in Minnesota aviation history.

A few weeks ago, the NTSB blamed the crash of a business jet in Owatonna on the pilots, both of whom died in the crash along with six other people.

Some previously unreleased photographs of the wreckage show why the NTSB characterized the crash as "not survivable." They are below the fold.
